It's Luffy, bro :)

Ruffy is the date-rape drug

@Bourthe

its duffy ^^

[KyuubiMinato]

@KoscheDMathi Not exactly.

In katakana, it's spelled with an 'R' because they don't have 'L' equivalents in their writing.

When romanized, the author himself writes it with an 'L', because that's what he intended the name to be.

[KoscheDMathi]

@KyuubiMinato in japan they spell it r/l uffy, bacause the "r" sounds lika a fusion from r and l in the japanese language

[KyuubiMinato]

@KoscheDMathi The name is spoken as "ruffy" because they don't pronounce "L" sounds. At all.

However, the author of the manga, Eiichiro Oda, is the one that spells it as Luffy. You're questioning the person who freaking created the character?

[KoscheDMathi]

@KyuubiMinato nope ... in the japanese version he is also called "ruffy"

the americans were justu to stupid to translate it correct ^^

[TheSonpanaj]

@KyuubiMinato ne ne er heisst ruffy 

[EarltheHardy]

ENEL FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@KyuubiMinato

That's right xDD

[KyuubiMinato]

@JD22494 I understand that. But that doesn't make it right.

And it's also unfortunate that the german adaptation of the name resembles the date-rape drug XP

[JD22494]

@KyuubiMinato

You are right, thats no question.

But I only say that's not the autors mistake but maybe the mistake of the German translators...

[KyuubiMinato]

@JD22494 That would be correct if One Piece was German. But it's japanese. The original author himself romanizes it as Luffy. "ruffy" is just a poor adaptation that relies on the kana used alone.

It's not "correct" just because someone made a poor adaptation of a name that has a western romanization.
